Answer:

0.0228 = 2.28% probability that the mineral water supplied by the company will not satisfy the water demanded by its employees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

n values from a normal distribution:

The mean is \mu*n and the standard deviation is \sigma\sqrt{n}

Normally distributed with mean 19 ounces and standard deviation 5 ounces.

This means that \mu = 19, \sigma = 5

The company has 100 employees.

This means that for the mean consumption of all employees, we have that:

\mu = 19*100 = 1900

\sigma = 5\sqrt{100} = 50

Find the probability that the mineral water supplied by the company will not satisfy the water demanded by its employees.

Consumption higher than 2000 ounces, which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 2000. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{2000 - 1900}{50}

Z = 2

Z = 2 has a pvalue of 0.9772

1 - 0.9772 = 0.0228

0.0228 = 2.28% probability that the mineral water supplied by the company will not satisfy the water demanded by its employees.

4x+10=-26 two-step equation
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

x = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

4x+10=-26

Subtract 10 from each side

4x+10-10=-26-10

4x = -36

Divide each side by 4

4x/4 = -36/4

x = -9
